Tony 2.0 - A Humanoid Robot

Before going into this blog, I would like to thank my professors and teams.

• Dr A Srinath sir(Head of the Department, Mechanical Engineering.)

• Dr Kalyan Chakravathy Sir (Department of Mechanical Engineering)

• Dr P Satya Narayana sir ( ECM Department)

• Ms Maganti Syamala mam, (Department of Computer Science Engineering)                          

• Mr G. Arun Kumar Sir, (Department of Computer science engineering.)

For their trust and continuous support which helped me at my odds.

My personal team, who helped me a lot throughout my project.

A Robot is not only stuff of programming but is a fusion of many interdisciplinary concepts like Design, Manufacturing, Fabrication etc. For which I would like to extend my hand of gratification to my team members who were involved in the prototype development of this Robot.

There is a blog on this website named Project Tony, which is a prerequisite to this blog so if you haven't read it, please go through it for a clear understanding.

Even after getting disconnected to all my schedules, plans, teams friends and locking up myself within four walls due to quarantine, I couldn't able to find my consciousness, which is still struck back around 11th February 2020.

Its been precisely 8 months from the revelation of Project Tony, Keeping aside the compliments, glory and career boosts from that accomplishment. Project Tony fetched a never-ending trust, far more visions and an enormous amount of confidence to me. Tony 2.0 is the forthcoming work that I had revealed at the end of Project Tony. With all the factors and hard work, I developed Tony 2.0 in the summer of 2019, but due to the privacy concerns I never mentioned about Tony 2.0 in any public platforms.

Tony 2.0 is an Artificial Intelligent Virtual Assistant Software which is similar in comparison to the on-day available Siri, Cortana, Alexa etc. In addition to them, the wow factor that differentiates my project to the available software is the capability of understanding human emotions. Algorithm of Tony 2.0 is designed in a such a way that It can accurately calculate the emotion of the user and can perform the simultaneous operations to better his/her state of mind. Futuristic to my Project Tony, Tony 2.0 has an incredible capability like having two-way voice conversation with the user, Highlevel Applications Automation, Media and Gallery control, Ability to answer the never-ending questions posed by the user.

Tony 2.0 can understand your anger, depression and all sort of emotions, It can talk to you, It can write emails on behalf of you, It can automate high-level social applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube and whatnot. It can play the most favourite music playlist and it can even set an alarm for you. But all of these can take place without any of your direct physical involvements. Yes, I mean it, without your physical involvement.

Tony 2.0 remained as a computer software till a miracle happened in my life on a magical day which is merely a month ago. My All-time favourite professor had motivated me to develop a humanoid robot which can replace an Assistant Professor. With all the excitement and enthusiasm I thought to take up that project but deep inside, A Fear originated in my mind by questioning my capability to complete that project. Somehow answering it and then gathering up the courage I took up the project. I am clear with the vision and plan but the only constraint I have is the time deadline. I need to complete the project within 10 days (Including Sundays).

Then came the magical support from nature, Higher the aims demands for the greater teams. I got involved in a team consisting best among the best. With the best designers, fabricators and other experts, we started to construct the project. We individually invested our blood and sweat, Heart and Soul in the project and developed the prototype on time.

There were different names given to prototype based on the personal interests of team members like Mechabot, Auxiliary Robot etc. but to me, it is Professor Tony, because a lot of the programming done for this Robot is inspired from Tony 2.0's algorithm.

Professor Tony is a humanoid robot which can talk and teach. It's capabilities of leading the conversations not only teach the students about the syllabus but can also answer to any of the doubts posed by the students. Without limiting the knowledge of Professor Tony to a particular subject, I extended its computational power to a level high. For example, if someone asks him regarding the present weather report of New Delhi. It is capable enough to answer the query with the latest weather report updates. Which means the database of Professor Tony is not a static one but gets updated to the global trends for every half an hour. It can answer to any type of students doubts from the birthday of Rajinikanth to the happenings in Harappan Civilisation. From the scientific name of apple to the Theory of Relativity. A lot of digital information is included in the knowledge of Professor Tony. Excluding these capabilities, there is a wow factor in this project, which I am not going to mention in any posts, due to the privacy concerns.

Professor Tony is a humanoid Robot for the entire world but for me, it's like the walking achievement. An accomplishment of my childhood dream. It is my first step in an incredible journey towards Artificial intelligence.

If you feel this blog-worthy please help me to take it to a wide range of audience by sharing this to your friends. If you like my work please send your love and support to me.

Carrying the responsibility and expectations on my shoulders, I will get back to you with my further projects.
